Any idea what this is? It's the search for the perfect dotted tights. The dots mustn't be too small, but not too big either, and not too many… In the end I was so exasperated I tried DIY. Acrylic paint you can never get out of your clothes and there's always a potato somewhere in the house. Still need to work on the technique though…

Ha, brilliant! I'm guessing sarah's not afraid of heights...or maybe she is and you're up to your old sadistic tricks again ;)I think I once had the perfect pair Sabine from good old toppers but they ripped second wear and they never stocked them again...sniff

love the idea. this is gonna sound so stupid. like im just making it up as im writing- but i was also thinking about printing on stockings..but never got to do it..you remind me i need to try it. love how the result of your diy turned out! well done sabine!xx

First, they're beautiful photos. Second: when I started my blog, and knew about 6 people online, I had a 19 year old 'blog friend' in China (who has since stopped blogging) who did the most beautiful drawings in black marker on a pair of tights. I designed a logo for her and wanted to help her start a little Etsy shop. She sent me a pair with my name - IN MANDARIN - running down one leg. Wore it proudly to my first Fashion Week, Sept 2009.

Then, I hand washed it. She had used non-indelible ink. My Mandarin words ran down the sink, like tears in the rain.
